How to Upload Notes

The first real step in a new project is to upload the records data from which you'd like to extract variables.

Brim uses a "Comma-separated values file" or CSV format to input this data. You can find a sample Data CSV file here.

To upload data:

1. Access Project Setup on your Project Dashboard.
   • Click on the first section, which should be named "Project Setup".
2. Preparing a CSV
   • Click on the Upload CSV option.
   • You can click on Example Format to see the required fields in the CSV. This section also includes some formatting notes, and a link to a Sample CSV file.
   • The file should have a row for each note, including a unique identifier for the note, a unique identifier for the patient (often an MRN), and the note's date, title, and text.
3. Select File
   • Click "Choose File", and then choose the CSV file you want to upload from your desktop.
4. Upload File
   • Click on the Upload button to upload the selected file.
   • Depending on the size of the file, this might take a few seconds, a few minutes, or longer for very long files. You'll see the status in the table change to "Complete" when the data is ready.
5. Preview Data
   • After the upload is complete, you can preview the data to ensure it was uploaded correctly by clicking "Preview Data"
